It Was Easier Way Back Then
Methuzelah lived nine hundred years
But really
It was easier way back then
No one checked to see if he was
On steroids
He didn't have todays stresses
He wasn't worried about
Global warming
Or even
Political correctness
Or nuclear weapons
Or the price of gas
His mother never scolded him for
Inappropriate behavior
The N word was unheard of
He had no credit card debt
He was never mugged
It was easier back then
Living in a vacuum
